“Ya already mas Burhan, we also do not know what Mr. Solikin did, anyway if the Burhan mas can still invite Mr. Solikin to work yes good it”
“Well probably because last night he lured pak”
“Ah cook anyway fishing at night that, lha mas Burhan can info from where if sir Solikin last night fishing?”
“Eh, sa...maya.I just guessed sir, because the villagers custom that night they like fishing at that time pak”.
Why Burhan can say that Solikin last night was fishing…
How could he guess like that, but it is indeed said his wife….
But how Burhan knows.
“Ya already mas, this afternoon I stay no papa right, later in the afternoon after I call my boss directly back here”
“No papa sir, I will be at home if Pak Agus later tonight come home”
I think things are getting weird here, but until now I still can't guess what's going on between Burhan and Solikin.
I'm sure there's something secret between the two of them
During the day the sea arrived….
Bu Tugiyem and his son Anik came.
The distinctive sound of greetings from Tugiyem made me startled when I was thinking about the connection that occurred.
“Nak Agus.... yesterday afternoon I wait why not come?”
“Let's just talk mom, we chat inside course”
Bu Tugiyem just looked at me with a worried look, he seemed to have something to tell me.
“Bu Tugiyem..we chatted inside yuk” house After I saw bu Tugiyem finished distributing food to the workers.
Anik and Bu Tugiyem followed me inside the house, while Buhan was still with the workers outside, while Mr. Solikin just sat a bit away from them.
“Nak Agus how, why did not last night go home?”
“There is Burhan bu , I do not want if Burhan come with me..”.
“Lha if the detour to the village and through the iron bridge even scary at night bu”
“Ya no longer papa son, indeed if the night through the iron bridge there scary nak”
“So gini nak Agus, I just remembered, if not wrong Yetno was once told that he saw Mamad around here when he replaced Mamad who did not go to work because of sick”
“But not only Mamad, Yetno also see no Burhan also.”
“Yetno same story Mbah Karyo who was asking for opinion Mbah Karyo to resign ”
“Only what Burhan and Mamad did at that time he did not know , because he only saw Mamad and Burhan by peeking in the lattice of the bedroom window”
“So Burhan and Mamad are outside the house... beside the room. or next to the house is it bu?”
“It looks like yes son, because it was midnight”
“That's all Mbah Karyo told me nak”
“Bu Tugiyem... has not felt strange with Mr. Solikin, Mamad, Wandi, maybe even Burhan?”
“Hehehe I never noticed they were all kiddo.. “.
“Ya sudan nak, please be a bit careful with Burhan, because he might not like to nak Agus”
*****
I was on my way to the village where Tina lived…
My head was getting full, even though there was a little information from Ms. Tugiyem, at least I felt somewhat able to guess who was nervous…
Mamad and Burhan seem to have known for a long time, they could have been old friends as well…
It is even possible that until now Burhan is still friends with Mamad, because said Mr. Panat, Mamad is still alive.
*****
“Assalamualaikum mbak Tina.
“Waalaikumsalam my husband.
“Iya mbak, later I will tell mbak... because last night there was another incident”.
I walked into Tina's house, then sat on the sofa I used to sit on.
Tina sat opposite me, she now seems to be starting to change her behavior towards me.
Then I told you what happened to me last night, until this morning and the info from Tugiyem ma'am.
“Hmm who is mas, cook sir Solikin anyway, but who is he with?”
“Well that's mbak, I'm also not sure if it's mr Solikin”
“My head until dizzy mbak, as long as I stay there can never sleep well, there are always those who try to make me afraid”
“Ya already mas, the important thing is there is progress mas, and better we are now to the house of Yu Gemi who sells pecel it mas”
“Wait for Tina to change clothes first mas..”.
*****
“Where is the turn?”
“Straight aja mas, later there is a small alley, the motor should be guided in”
“Hmm well that ... there that there is a little boy in. that's his gang mas”.
I stopped the motor at the mouth of the alley…
This alley is indeed small, but fortunately if to cross the motor can still be, a small alley with a road in the form of paving that is no longer because of.
This small alley is crowded with small children playing and running around.
“Wah..ketoke in this alley his mothers are pregnant and mingelirinya together ya mbak hehe”
“Iya mas, Tina was also surprised, why many children are the same age. But it's delicious mas, so rame atmosphere”
“Nek gini yes delicious mbak, Try if on a cry together hehehe”
“Eh which house is mbak?”
“That's mas at the end there, not far away kok”
We finally arrived at Yu Gemi's house…
Not a comfortable home to live in, because it is rather shabby.
And the location of his house at the end of a narrow and rather densely populated dead end alley.
Tina called Yu Gemi a few times…
“Oh mbak Tina and her mas..”.
“I don't think you're here” said Yu Gemi who was holding a child who might be five years old
“Yo is Yuuuu, Tina was waiting for Agus to come first.”.
“Iya mbak Tina, I was waiting for my time selling near the house mbak Tina, kok mbak Tina and her mas did not appear hehehe”
“Yo wis Yuuuu, uh nganu... mas Yetno there Yuuu?”
“There is.. but again take a shower, wait a minute yes mbak Tina”.
We sat in a cramped living room with no table furniture, we sat on a worn carpet.
Yu Gemi walked into the back of the house, apparently telling her sister that we were coming.
Not long after that he came out from the inside of the house with a young man in black, skinny and somewhat shaggy hair.
“This is my sister named Yetno...”.
“Mas Yetno I'm Agus and this is Tina”
“Express Mr Agus.. Is there anything I can help you to get home here?”
Yetno was a pretty polite person to someone who usually worked as a bus kernet.
“Nganu mas Yetno, first I want to tell you a few days ago Mbah Karyo died, due to drowning at the back of rumah”
“Innalillahi wainnailaihi rojiun.. pity Mbah Karyo.
“Iya mas Yetno,... uh I am the one who replaced Mr. Wandi there... uh I was there not yet a week”.
“Hmm so..then the Mamad is there still pack?”
“Mamad reportedly hit by a bus near his home there a day after Mbah Karyo died”
“Hehehe means the one there now Burhan yes Pak Agus?” ask her with a cynical smile
“I.iya mas Yetno, I am with Burhan...”.
Then Yetno was silent, as if he was thinking or remembering something..
I let it be awkward because I don't know what to say anymore either.
“Then Mr Agus and mbak here to say what, are there problems with who lives there, or problems with the people there?” ask Yetno
“Waduh mas Yetno, I was confused mas, indeed I was there every night always scared, I was confused what was actually in the house”
“Pak Agus has met the one who hung himself in the bathroom?”
“About Yetno..”
“Well that was Mr. Agus, he will continue to show himself until Mr. Agus helps find his body and bury it properly”
“To be clear sir, three days I was there every afternoon until the morning always see the Chinese woman who hanged herself it”
“I can go crazy long pak”
“Not to mention the actions of Mr. Wandi who likes to go out at night home in the morning, not to mention strange things sent because people who do not like me”
“Eh sorry mas Yetno..actually this Yetno mas replaces who there?”
“So like this Mr. Agus.. I am replacing Mamad who said he was very sick and would not return to the sawing house again”.
“So the beginning of my story was there it was like this..”.
“I am a friend of Mbah Karyo, Mbah Karyo always to this village to buy fishing rods and other equipment, and he always invites me to fish at times.
